Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Jun knew that Liang Pingchuan had gone to Li City University a few days ago, but he didn’t hear about any cheating. However, Xia Mengyan was Fang s.h.i.+yun’s apprentice. If he could help her with this matter, it would be a good thing. If he encountered any problems in the future, Xia Mengyan would not be able to reject him.

Xia Mengyan sighed and said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that my cousin cheated in Li City University’s calligraphy compet.i.tion and was exposed. After this matter spread, there were people who said that since she cheated, I’d cheat in the future too.”

When Yan Jun heard this, he said disdainfully, “Is there a need to cheat in Li City University’s compet.i.tion? This person is really too stupid! Miss Xia, although you and she are cousins, you should interact less in the future. With such a cousin, there’ll surely be rumors about you in the future. Now that you’re about to become Mr. Fang’s apprentice, you shouldn’t ruin your future because of such a person.”

Sumei hurriedly said, “I tried to persuade Mengyan as well, but Mengyan has been kind-hearted since she was young. She knows that the cheating incident has affected her, but she can’t bear to blame her cousin and has been speaking up for her.”

Xia Mengyan smiled bitterly and shook her head. “It’s okay. After all, she’s my younger cousin. We’re family. How can I bear to blame her? I hope everyone here won’t spread the news lest Xi Xi is affected.”

Xia Yunlou lowered her head, feeling very embarra.s.sed. Then, she revealed a proud smile. Fortunately, she had Mengyan. In the future, Mengyan would bring honor to the Xia family.

Xia Mengyan smiled at everyone. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. After all, Xi Xi is also in Yingyun Hall. If she hears this, she’ll be unhappy. Moreover, I believe she’ll definitely turn over a new leaf.”

Yan Jun had a serious expression and frowned. “Miss Xia, it won’t sound good if news of your cousin cheating gets out. It’s better not to mention it in front of Mr. Fang. After all, Mr. Fang has always hated cheating and manipulation. If he finds out about this, it might affect his impression of you.”

A trace of sinisterness flashed past Old Madam Xia’s eyes. She just had to let Fang s.h.i.+yun know about this and let everyone know that Qiao Xi had cheated. Qiao Xi was the daughter of the Yin family. What did the Yin family’s reputation have to do with the Xia family?!

Everyone could tell that Old Madam Xia hated Miss Xia’s younger sister. There was even hatred in her eyes.

At this moment, someone probed, “Li City University is a top university in the country. It’s not easy to enter this university. How did she enter? Could it be that she cheated or used her connections?”

Hearing this, Sumei’s eyes flashed with excitement.

Immediately after, someone else said, “It’s indeed possible! She even cheated in such a small compet.i.tion. Maybe she has cheated many times and is already a habitual offender. How is such a person worthy of working in Li City University?”

Xia Mengyan pretended to be worried and said, “Everyone, you’re thinking too much. Although Xi Xi cheated in the calligraphy compet.i.tion, she was able to enter Li City University because of her own ability. She’s an internationally renowned designer!”

“Miss Xia, you’re just too naive. You think that she wouldn’t do such a thing, but the fact that she cheated in a small compet.i.tion means that she has cheated in large compet.i.tions in the past. Her current status and ident.i.ty are all fake. Such a person isn’t worthy of teaching at all. She should get out of Li City!”

“That’s right! It’s just a small compet.i.tion without any benefits. It doesn’t matter if she won or lost, but she just had to cheat. I heard that she stole the work of a calligraphy master and submitted it as her own. In the end, she was exposed on the spot.”

Everyone couldn’t help but recall what had happened a few days ago. Wasn’t Miss Xia’s cousin Qiao Xi? They heard that she cheated, but they weren’t sure what the outcome of the incident was. However, the impact of the incident was so bad that she must have been severely punished.

“Alright, stop talking about her. Today is Mengyan’s apprentices.h.i.+p banquet. Everyone should be happy.” Old Madam Xia’s old face was full of smiles. She had finally achieved her goal. She started to pretend to be a good person.

“This child has been wandering outside since she was young. No one has educated her about what’s right and what’s wrong, so she has some bad habits. However, she’s Ah Cheng’s granddaughter, after all. We can’t ignore her. We can only discipline her strictly in the future. I hope she can listen to our teachings and correct her mistakes.” Old Madam Xia sighed and said, “Fortunately, Mengyan grew up by our side since she was young. Ah Cheng has always taught her well, unlike that child who has no talent and only knows how to cheat.”
